In a time of tight margins due to lower commodity prices, only soybeans make financial sense. Post forecasts 2015/16 soybean production area at 1.3 million hectares, a four percent decrease from 2014/15 production area. Crop rotation requirements and the exit of some production pools are responsible for the decline. Yields have been on the rise, as farmers improve their know-how and avail better seed genetics, leading to a 2015/16 production forecast of 3.65 million metric tons (mmt). Exports are forecast at a record 3.385 mmt. A new terminal in Montevideo will lead to top off export opportunities for Uruguay, displacing some exports from the southern ports of Buenos Aires province.
